Ultimately if you are looking at having your own update repository then you will already have your own installation repository (if you don’t you can always go through the steps in Part 1 of my Autoyast how-to).

First of all create a directory inside your local repository called “updates” and then create a sub-directory for each of the versions you need (for me I only have opensuse11.1).

For you to update your individual servers after creating the repo you will need to have the “yast2-online-update-frontend” package installed.

This command will copy about 8gb’s of data, but as it is using rsync you can cancel it and restart it as often as you need. Be sure to select a mirror near you from the following list OpenSUSE Mirror List.
